Rare Chinese PLA Mess Kit First Look

[@quandouhuan666]

Place the smallest lunch box according to the marking line to place the rice and water and cover the lid. According to the marking line, the big lunch box is also filled with water. Place the lidted urinal box on the stool box and cook. After about fifteen to twenty minutes, the vents stop emitting water vapor and the source of ignition can be turned off. Wait a few minutes to eat. PS: After the preparation is completed, place it for fifteen minutes and then ignite. The rice is soft and delicious.

Wow have to say at first look I'm impressed. Can't wait to see you use it and hope it performs well.😊

[@MarkKratzMC]

Just seeing your comment. And thank you by the way. Check out my mess kit cooking playlist on how it performed.

[@monicajones8450]

I bought this very kit. I have not used it yet, but I think it is pretty cool. Looks like you can use it with ezbit cubes, alcohol or wood. Glad to see someone reviewing it. Thanks for sharing. Nice Shooting

[@jeffwong515]

The "little Didi bag" is a handy water storage. That is a Esbit stove (hexamine tablets can stored in the carry bag's outside pocket).

this kit gets a lot of copies and they are not necessarily fake as some of the copies are made in the same area. This kit actually is rarely used and there are not too much information about it. Some of the military friends told me they had never seen it used before. I guess it is for training purpose mainly as it is pretty heavy. The only special feature is the rice cooking design. However, whether you cook good rice doesn't matter in actually war.

[@alliswell-pb9vo]

somehow the comment got duplicated or is it bug of display

[@MarkKratzMC]

No worries I’m just seeing this. Thanks for the information. You don’t see many of them. I think it is a well thought out piece of kit. I have done reviews on PLA rations. Like most militaries mess kits aren’t used or issued anymore. I just did a Swedish mess kit cooking video today and it should air in the coming weeks. I have a military Mess kit playlist. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

@@MarkKratzMC there is quite some obscurity in rations. I heard(not 100% correct) factories that produce rations produce more than needed and sell the leftover ones to the common people. It is done so that when war comes, there won't be a need to increase production rate. However, many so-called rations are fake. They are hard to distinguish from real ones as there is no official information avaliable on which type is real. Although the ones in use can be easily identified as they have no label, these ones rarely reaches the civillian market(the rations from the same factory that is made to be sold all have label to conform to the law of food goods)The only easy-to-tell fakes are the ones that are dumb enough to write words like "special ops" on it. But when you don't understand chinese, it is even harder to tell whether a ration is fake. Furthermore, there are retired production lines that are used to be ration lines but switched to produce civillian food. They are worth buying and don't advertise as "real ration". A third type is experinmental rations, which may not be favored and have the production line turned to be a civillian one. As of now the rations are hard to buy because of unknown reason. I only know 2 rations that were 100% legit--the type 09 and the type 13. Sadly they are very hard to buy now and are no longer worth the price which increased a great deal. Same goes for certain military food and products that have civillian ccounterparts, such as the "far flight bead shaped chocolate", which has a special herb that can reduce fatigue, and ration bars. There are also some very rare ones that are completely unobtainable now such as the "submarineKT07 meal set", the"large self heating meal crate for 12 person group", the various canned goods(usually chinese style meat dishes, which taste very good and it is a good thing that civillian market has the same type of stuff), and even weird(maybe experinmental, but no information) ones like "anti radiation iodine biscuit". There are many more weird and unheard products, but almost no information are there on them.

I also have one, which is very suitable for cooking rice. The best thing is that cooking rice won't stick to the pan. Versatile, complete and effective accessories. Stronger than aluminum.

[@MarkKratzMC]

朴龙熙 Thank you. I think it is the best military mess kit made.

[@quandouhuan666]

@@MarkKratzMCI also think this is the best personal cooking equipment. Cook rice, stir-fry, boil water, cook soup, steam. A lot of features. I hope to see more exciting videos. have a nice day.

[@chrisgonzales2916]

Ping Pong really hooked up his troops with a cool mess kit….

[@tolik5929]

Just ordered one of those . Between that , and the Russian VDV mess kit , you could do a great geal with them .

[@MarkKratzMC]

Hi, I’m just seeing this. I just wanted to know I appreciate the comment and your visit. I just made a meal today in my Swedish miss kit and it should be up next week. Check out my mess kit cooking playlist if you get a chance. Thanks again.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

Nice I would like one on my collection and use it on road trips too...

[@MarkKratzMC]

I think it is one of the better military kits. Thanks for watching. Check my mess kit cooking playlist if you get a chance

[@Scoutforlife]

nice! like the kit. lots of pots. unsure about the stove, it must be specific to a burner or something.mabe ezbit.ya wont wear any of it out for sure.peace.

[@MarkKratzMC]

It’s S/S so it has to be more hardy than the esbit. I will do a video later on it, trying different fuels.

[@jeffwong515]

That is a Esbit stove (hexamine tablets can stored in the carry bag's front pocket).

[@stevenmc56]

I have one plastic box is for fuel tabs it had a stove with it and a dry bag also knife fork and spoon

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

The plastic box is for salt and pepper. The dry bag is a collapsible water carrier. The system is designed to efficiently cook rice, the staple food item of the Chinese soldier. Hexamine tablets (Esbit) are kept in the outside pocket so they don't contaminate the utensils. It is a well made and well thought out piece of equipment.

[@ZsXie10]

Nice collection. Good review.

[@MarkKratzMC]

zs Xie Thank you. I think it is the best designed military mess kit

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

FYI aluminium is not toxic unless you grind it up and eat it in huge amounts. That is a sweet mess kit!

[@puma1304]

[@dayakwarfighter7477]

[@MarkKratzMC]

[@matthewprior3762]

[@MarkKratzMC]

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay?

[@AquaTech225]

[@MarkKratzMC]
